Ascendency changes look very disappointing so far. I don't think Chayula and Witchhunter are any close to not having < 1% play rate.

witchhunter got "buffed" by having everyone else nerfed.

also, crossbow skills received a decent amount of buffs.

Except Deadeye, who was probably already better at crossbows anyway.

I don't understand where the crossbow buffs people keep talking about... The only significant buff is the base damage of crossbows but the skills didn't really get much.

Skills get stronger when the weapon gets stronger.

Half the Xbow skills are grenades, and they almost all just got obliterated into uselessness with their cooldown changes. Here's hoping the actual bolt skills suck less, I guess.

I ran galvanic shards shockburst rounds deadeye and cleared everything in end game all bosses max difficulty melted mapping smooth as butter damage going up makes it even nicer granted all the other nerfs
